Based on what - the fact that you didn't like him beforehand - or the fact that Randall agrees with you ... which should always make one question their opinion.

Obviously Giant Oak is a much better horse than everything in that Clark field not named Successful Dan .. but he is not better than Redding Collery.

Redding Collery - on figures - should have had a 7-to-9 length early lead over Regal Ransom - he's that much faster early on than Regal Ransom... and Regal Ransom (fresh off of his 69 Beyer last out) was the 2nd quickest horse in this race.

Even the Moss Pace figures say the same thing.



All the credit goes to Rosie ... she's actually going to get a slower first call pace number than the 48 she got at Monmouth when Duke Of Mischief pissed all over Redding Collery.

He was a much bigger price than Apart - who is a complete piece of crap and should have been 30/1 in the Clark. How good do people really think the horse is?
